On 10 Nov 2008, there was a significant change to the geocoder and reverse geocoder. Before that, if you entered a string containing lat/lng coordinates it went through the geocoder. To use the reverse geocoder you had to pass a GLatLng().
Since then, passing such a string calls the reverse geocoder. The reverse geocoder returns details of a nearby point which has an address. If the point is close to a street address, then that nearby point could be quite close. If the point is over a certain distance from a known street, then the centre of the nearest town is returned. Actually, it now returns a list of various geographical regions which contain the desired point, such as the suburb, school district, city, county, state, country and continent. If you're using .getLatLng() then you get the centre point of whichever of those comes first. -- http://econym.org.uk/gmap The Blackpool Community Church Javascript Team --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Google Maps API" group.
